Wow.........
First of all, I didn't know a young girl could do that to herself. I've heard of suicide over a boy, but hanging is extra-gruesome.
Lemme tell you as a typically lonely person some profiles on MySpace can do that to you. When I first started I had a crush on someone on my friend list, and I felt happier than I had in years. I guess it might've been under the assumption that she wouldn't accept my friend request unless it were really serious, like a matchmaking site. Lo and behold I would leave her a comment and be so nervous about the reply that I wouldn't log in for a week...
So, it's easy even for an adult to take that site seriously. Later when I became familiar with the MySpace culture and the whole "It's only the Internet" notion, I calmed down, but maybe just because I am an adult.
As far as the fake account in this story goes, well, fake accounts usually have a obviously fake, overly photogenic photo as the main one, and the profile usually doesn't have much personal information. If this fake profile is what I'm picturing, that's extra-tragic since it lead to all of this...
